Menu / select New rc5 and turn encoder
Now you will be ask to PUSH a button
If your remote is a RC5 it will continue the setup else PUSH MENU to exit (not a RC5 remote)
You need a remote with min 10 buttons to setup the controller
Power on/off , CH+ ,CH-, Vol+, Vol-, Mute, and 4 buttons for direct select input
When done it store the new remote in eeprom and use this rc5 setup

Edit input text :

Menu / Edit text and turn encoder (you need the remote to do the rest)

LCD will now show the Input text for input 1 on Line 1 line 2 show a Letter (A)
use Vol- to select the input text you like to edit (show on line 1)

To edit the text do this :
Use CH+ to scroll Letter UP / CH- is down
When you have the letter you like to use Press VOL+
now it show the new letter on line 2 you have letter & the next letter
use CH+ CH- to select next letter and Push VOL+ ect untill you have the text you like to use Max 7 chars
PRESS Mute to store the text for input in EEprom (if you have used all 7 chars it auto save the text use Vol- to select new text to edit or)

If you like to edit other input text use Vol- to select the input text and do the steps again (Ch+ CH- Vol+ ,mute)

If you are done edit text press POWER ON/OFF on remote ( Exit edit and return to normal)

Menu / Light Turn encoder Left/Right to select AUTO or ON

If AUTO it turn off baclkight after about 10 Sec
If ON backlight is allways ON

This is a level change of the output to LCD meter you have 6 bars on lcd for VU meter
if your input is to high they dont show muts just on all time
try to decrese the level so MAX input light up the 6´th Bar with 5 ||||| bar signs
every bar is spit up in 5 bars signs |

IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS DONT DO IT !!!!!!!!!!

How to connect the half-wave rectifier to Atmega16 :
On the controller board you have PIN30/31 for LED display
M16 ADC6 ADC7 pins
(if you build your own then you know where ADC6/7 is)
You need to connect this to pins to half-wave rectifier ADC6 and ADC7 and connect Gnd to Gnd on board
it can use the +5volt & GND from board
The L/R & GND input on half-wave rectifier cant be connectet to Direct output

Hope you report any errors or change you like to have , and I´ll try to make them

Danzup gave us a lot of possibilities to choose what we want. LED or LCD display, four to eight inputs, different AT microcontrollers, pushbuttons or rotary encoder, different devices for signal attenuation, tubes or solid state. I'm sure I missed something.

Now we have one more choice: FarmTech's firmware. Who could ask for more?

Hi,
congrats & thank you to all experts!

Nonexperts would be very grateful for transparent overview of final solution (incl. all alternatives, possibilities).
